Map QRS Seat Box Attachments Explained

The brand new for 2016 QRS Seat Box Attachments from Map Fishing are available to pre-order NOW at chapmans angling. Below is a simple guide explaining what QRS means and why everyone is so excited about them.

QRS simply stands for ‘Quick Release System’, which is MAP's innovative new connection method for seatbox accessories, meaning set-up and pack-down is quicker and easier than ever before! All the QRS accessories, everything from feeder arms to accessory bars, feature our unique push button mechanism, which allows easy fitting and removal from the QRS bracket which can remain attached permanently to your box.

Attaching any of the accessories couldn’t be easier, simply push into the bracket and wait for the click to tell you that your accessory is secured, you can set it at 90° increments to suit your fishing situation. At the end of your match, to remove them is just as quick. By pressing in the two push buttons on the accessory (having two means it is impossible to accidentally knock an accessory off) this releases the accessory to allow simple removal. The QRS block can be left attached to your box in the perfect position for next time. Combined with the 180° Multi Lock you can position the locking knob wherever you want for ease of transport.

So the next question is will it fit my box? If you have made the excellent decision to get one of the brand new MAP seat boxes then of course it will, but they will also fit any other 25mm, 30mm or 36mm round legs on the market. All the inserts will be supplied with the bracket so there is no need to buy any extras.

The range itself consists of three lengths of Outrigger Arms which are ideal for pole socks, butt rests and the like but double up for holding extra sections when not in use thanks to the protective foam cover. They also feature our unique QRS Accessory Insert that allows you to quickly attach or remove any threaded items with a simple twist of the collar. These inserts can also be purchased separately should you wish to change between multiple attachments on a single Outrigger arm.

There are also two sizes of Accessory Arms which are a straight arm featuring the same Accessory insert as the Outriggers. Perfect as a longer keepnet arm, but can also be used with a host of other items.

The QRS Keepnet Attachment is a firm favourite of all our consultants, gone are the days of having to unscrew your nets when you weigh in! A short metal attachment is designed to stay permanently attached to your nets and this of course utilises the same push button release system as the rest of the range. You choose one of two clamps to use this with, the standard ‘Keepnet Clamp’ will work on any 25mm, 30mm or 36mm leg or the ‘Accessory Bar Clamp’ is also available if your attaching your nets to the awesome ‘QRS Accessory Bar’

To complete the range we have gone back to the drawing board to create the ultimate feeder arm for commercial venues. This short 90 degree arm offers adjustment both vertically and horizontally and features the QRS Accessory Insert so you can quickly change rod rests heads.
